Here’s the first part of the recipe, making the mousse fromage:
ムース・フロマージュ
クリームチーズ・・・125g
フロマージュ・ブラン・・・250g

卵白・・・80g
砂糖・・・110g

Fromage Blanc 250g (we used marscapone)
Fresh cream 40% fat 375ml
Egg whites 80g
Sugar 110g
Water (Enough to cover up the sugar)
Gelatin 3g
Directions:
1. Make an italian meringue. Put the sugar in a pot, and add enough water to cover the sugar.
2. Boil the mixture to 120℃ (you need some time for this)
3. Meanwhile whip the egg whites till soft peaks form and add the hot sugar syrup while continuing to whip the egg whites till stiff peaks form and set aside
4. Cream the cream cheese till soft and creamy, add the fromage blanc and mix till incorporated
5. Whip the cream till soft peaks form. Meanwhile, dissolve the gelatin in a small amount of water and put the mixture over a double boiler to help the gelatin dissolve. (I sprinkled the gelatin into a small cup of water and placed the cup in a hot bowl of water)
6. Add the soften gelatine mixture into a portion of the cream cheese and fromage blanc mixture.
7. Mix the rest of the cheese and fromage mixture into the gelatine cream cheese mixture.
8. Fold the whipped cream into the cheese mixture in three different batches.
9. Fold the italian meringue into the cream cheese and whipped cream mixture in three different batches.

Composition
1. Cut the biscuit sponge into the shape of the mousse cups.
2. Place the sponge in

4. Cut a strawberry into quarters and lined it by the sides of the cup such that you can see the side of the strawberry from the side.
5. Pipe the mousse fromage into the cup to slightly less than 1/2 full
6. Soak another biscuit sponge in the punche syrup and place it in the cup with the moussed topped using two toothpicks or chopsticks
